Hey everyone!
Well, we’ve had a slower couple of weeks. For one, my internet has been spotty at best for almost 9 days now, hence the extreme lateness of this post! Seems everyone’s been pretty tied up in their own lives, which happens. Nonetheless, there have been some interesting developments to note.
First, in the storyboard dept, Travellingmatt has posted panels for Scene 7, found here:

Second, the first draft of the “Talent script has been posted. This is the script the voice actors will be using to work from, and it is …

Hey everyone,

The most recent updates are as follows:
 
Hardhead11 has added a variation to the establishing shot of scene 4, found here:

Hey everyone!
First, apologies for the delay in the posting of this recap. Long story….
This last week, there was more activity on the Nia thread, especially discussing rendering techniques. There are some nice conceptual posts there, well worth checking out.

We did have a semi-successful meeting, and officially extended the storyboard deadline to this coming weekend, due to the request of almost everyone who was present. I’d like us to have a more well-attended meeting this weekend or next, whatever the preference of everyone is.
That wraps it up for this recap!

Another week has gone!
This week was quite busy, resulting in a delay in posting the recap.
First off, we had some speculation on the FMS from tmatt about some features we could add to it and a few features we could change. [click]
A discussion has been started on the aspect ratio and what the standard size would be for production. [click]
Some work on Rhagen has been started. Thanks to tyrant monkey & tmatt for conceptualizing and modeling the character [click]
A lengthy discussion has started in the Storyboards and Movies thread. [click]

Hey everyone!
Another busy week here at OWF. It seems the addition of deadlines and meetings was just the push we needed to get the project back in motion.

It’s just a matter of always being willing to adjust your system until it works.
Anyway, enough speculation on the art of online collaboration, let’s get to the actual details of the week.
First, in the …

This post contains a selection of concept art dealing with the character Nia. This post is not all-inclusive, it does include some of the more recognizable art among our members. The sketches are provided by Travellingmatt, and the 3D Concept render was provided by CJ Maynard. There have been a number of different variations of this character, including blue skin. This is an undecided production point as of right now. Like Rhagen, Nia is a physical manifestation of energy, and as such must convey certain aspects. In here case, we …

This post contains a selection of recently-contributed concept art dealing with the character Rhagen. While this post is not all-inclusive, it does include some of the most recognizable art among our members. The primary piece (which is this posts’ thumbnail) was submitted by Tyrant Monkey, and is generally considered the most up-to-date piece of concept art for this character, at least as of the time of this posting. While there have been a number of different variations of this character, many which can be found while searching our forums, these …
